Lighting Our Christmas Lantern

A home-based Mom should be a handy Jane to fix things at home while the husband is not at home and nobody can do it.

I was prodding my husband  this past weekend to have the Christmas lantern tested, if it is still working. He did not remove it from our terrace since it was installed there two years ago. The Christmas lantern was made of capiz (shells) mounted on steel frame, and with different colored bulbs inside.

And since it is already December 16, start of the "Simbang Gabi" (Night Mass) but actually dawn Mass, I felt the need to have some "Christmas spirit" in our home. I just wanted a lantern to signify the star that the Three Wise Men followed as guide to find the Baby Jesus in the manger.

If it did not work (light up), I planned to buy a simple star to put in front of our home. So this morning, I connected the extension cord to the outlet, and then I switched it, and lo! it worked! It is still blinking beautifully.

I was so happy looking at the lighted Christmas lantern.
